Helloworld Travel’s Air Tickets now gives Aussie and Kiwi travel advisors access to Qatar Airways NDC (new distribution capability) content for a greater range of booking classes and lower SmartNDC fares to pass on to clients.
Advisors can access more booking classes and lower fares through the ticketing consolidator, including the ‘Shop, Book and Ticket’ functionality, with connections now available for Travelport, Sabre and Amadeus tech software users.
Qatar Airways NDC offers better deals for Economy and Business Class tickets compared to traditional EDIFACT fares, allowing advisors to tap into the best-value QR fares on the market.
Helloworld Travel Group General Manager – Consolidation Rohan Moss said: “Agents can shop and book via SmartFares or via your GDS – the choice is yours to access a wide variety of NDC content and offers. We are pleased to be once again leading the way with NDC connectivity.”
Air Tickets access to Qatar Airways NDC
Air Tickets agents can directly source tickets without any additional onboarding or registration with Qatar Airways.
To use the shop and book QR NDC content via SmartFares, travel agencies need to complete the SmartFares Shopping and Booking Registration through the GDS.
Advisors who use Travelport do not need to complete any additional registration or onboarding processes with QR NDC content now available in your GDS, while Sabre users will need to order QR NDC from the Sabre Central Marketplace.
Amadeus users also do not need to complete any additional registration or onboarding processes as QR NDC content is available now by default.
Last year, Air Tickets was the first ticketing consolidator in Australia to establish a direct NDC API link with Emirates.
